#art #history: can't resist a classic simone stink eye &, as i draw her every year on the anniversary of her birth, here's my tribute to her 'take no shit' glance.
most commonly associated with her seminal feminist oeuvre, 'the second sex', simone's philosophy was - true to its existential roots - humanist'; but it can be extended to all members of society, both human & non-human. in her words: 'one's life has value so long as one attributes value to the lives of others.'
#simoneDeBeauvoir

here, she looks off to her left with a look of bemusement on her face, legendary barnet sweeping elegantly from her skull.
above her head is a jaunty, angular speech box with a block of medium french blue inserted.
text reads: 'non, je n'en veux pas'.
simone is in black, white & grey.

Wanted to make some new labels for our tea caddies and I'm pretty happy with the results. Even though our cat Jiji tried to sabotage me with his cuteness. First time I see a cat try to unscrew a lightbulb. I'm posting the scan of it if anyone wants to use them for their teas.

#Watercolour #Watercolor #Tea #Art #MastoArt

4 Teal coloured stout tea caddies with labels that read: Tibetan Secret, Strawberry, Blue Lady, and Darjeeling.

4 More stout teal tea caddies with labels that read: Blood Orange, Lakeland Special, Earl Grey, and Lady Grey.

A black cat lies on a desk on top of my work in progress. His thick booty covers all of the working area.

Scan of a series of labels with floral borders from top left to right:
1 Mango and bergamot with a drawing of a mango and a bergamot
2 Sakura cherry with pink flowers and petals.
3 Earl Grey with a bergamot and a cornflower
4 Tibetan secret with an orange peel
5 Strawberry with little strawberries and a fading red background
6 Blood Orange with a slice of blood orange
7 Lady Grey with a slice of orange
8 Lakeland Special with a little landscape in the background
9 Blue Lady with a slice of grapefruit and a cornflower
10 Milky Oolong with 2 brown leaves on the side
11 Darjeeling with two foggy mountains in the distance
12 English Rose with a red rose line work on the side.

I captured this image in an old museum on mid north coast, NSW, Australia.

Clothes washer technology developed as a way to reduce the manual labor spent, providing an open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The earliest machines were hand-operated and constructed from wood, while later machines made of metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, keeping the water warm throughout the day's washing.

The earliest special-purpose washing device was the scrub board, invented in 1797.

By the mid-1850s, steam-driven commercial laundry machinery was on sale in the UK and US. Technological advances in machinery for commercial and institutional washers proceeded faster than domestic washer design for several decades, especially in the UK. In the US there was more emphasis on developing machines for washing at home, though machines for commercial laundry services were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rotary washing machine was patented by Hamilton Smith in 1858. As electricity was not commonly available until at least 1930, some early washing machines were operated by a low-speed single-cylinder hit and miss gasoline engine.

After the items were washed and rinsed, water had to be removed by twisting. To help reduce this labor, the wringer/mangle machine was developed.

Robin in a holly bush is a hand painted watercolour painting in landscape format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A robin sits on a branch in a holly bush and looks to the right. It is surrounded by green leaves and red berries. The background is painted with loose brushstrokes in different shades of green, which form a strong colour contrast to the red winter berries of the bush and the red-orange breast feathers of the bird. The Ilex is also called Holly or Christmas Holly. The evergreen branches with the red fruits are often used for Christmas decorations.
The painting is also available in a square format and cropped to portrait format in my shop. Choose for yourself which format fits best in your rooms.
Here I added the text Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as Christmas card design for your seasonal greetings.

Three female sparrows with soft, fluffy plumage sit together on a slender branch and have a chat. The two birds on the left are looking to the right, the house sparrow on the far right is looking to the left towards the other two. The delicate feathers of the small songbirds are painted in various shades of brown with loose, gentle brushstrokes. The background is painted abstractly in warm shades of brown, purple, earth and chocolate. The birds appear calm, creating a peaceful composition.
I originally painted the three sparrows as individual paintings, which can also be found in my collection of bird paintings (Sparrow Meeting parts one, two and three).
